We simply turn a blind eye to the ways we pillage our surroundings and mortgage the future for immediate convenience, it's pretty fucked up.

There's simply no reason Phoenix should have 4 million plus inhabitants, to say nothing of the fucking green golf courses and lawns. People are dumb.
Well said!

It's a global problem buddy, this is happening all over the world. Huge areas of the worlds water reserves are drying up. It's one of these major world issues that no one is really talking about because there isn't a solution. The problem will continue to get worse as the worlds population continues to increase.

That's the elephant in the room...

Only a matter of time before we start having wars over water, we're headed towards the perfect storm. The Middle East is fucked!

Water is life
